Denmark topped the rankings among the five highest-spending tourist nationalities in Greece in 2025, recording the largest year-on-year increase in visitor expenditure. Danish travelers led a group of Northern European and international visitors whose spending contributed significantly to Greece's tourism revenue last year. The full top five included visitors from countries with strong purchasing power, collectively driving higher average daily spending across popular destinations including Crete. For visitors planning a trip, this trend reflects growing demand for quality experiences on the island, which can mean busier high-end accommodations and restaurants during peak season. Booking ahead, particularly for summer 2026, is advisable. The data, drawn from national tourism statistics, confirms Crete remains one of Greece's most visited and economically significant destinations for international travelers.
